Lift and the boon of Cultivation


AquaRegia

Recommended Posts

Just reread Interlude-5, where we hear Lift's recollection of her visit to the Nightwatcher and Cultivation.

"I asked not to change," Lift whispered, opening her eyes.  "I said, when everything else is going wrong, I want to be the same.  I want to stay me.  Not become someone else."

Obviously, what she meant was that she wanted to remain a child forever; equally obviously, Cultivation chose to interpret her words differently.  What exactly HAS Cultivation given to Lift, beyond the ability to convert food into Lifelight?  I can't help but think that a god-given ability to "stay the same" will turn out to be extremely important at some point in the future.  But how?  Is it related to the Realmatic concept of Identity somehow?

Any ideas, 17th Shard?

Honestly, it’s like Lift asked to be made into the perfect Shard Vessel – able to retain her identity even in the face of Shardic Intent and power. I don’t know if that would hold up to a Shard as contrary to her nature as, say, Odium, but it might be perfect for a new vessel for something more aligned to Lift and less likely to wear on her and in Cultivation’s effect as much.
